Build athleticism through play

Little games.
Big confidence.

PlayBoost gives you fun games to play with your kids that build balance, coordination, speed, and strength. As they get more comfortable moving, they can feel more confident joining in, trying new sports, and being active as they grow up.

A COACH AND A DAD

Hey, I’m Coach Kevin.

I’m a coach and a dad of two girls. I want kids to build athletic skills, but I also want them to feel confident joining in, trying something new, and being active as they grow up.

I created PlayBoost to make that easier for parents. These games give kids a chance to practise those skills, use their imagination, and have fun with you along the way. My hope is that enjoying movement now helps them stay active for life.

Let’s make movement fun.Coach Kevin

HOW IT WORKS

Here’s how to get started.

01

Choose a game

Browse the games or let your child choose a card. Go with whatever gets them excited.

02

Get ready to play

Check the instructions, grab the items you need, and find enough space to play.

03

Play along with them

Join in, encourage them when they try something new, and adjust the game if it feels too easy or too hard.

WHY PLAYBOOST

Help them build skills
and confidence.

When kids feel more capable, they’re often more willing to join in. I want to help them build that confidence through games they enjoy, so being active becomes something they choose to do.

Start with a game they enjoy

When kids enjoy a game, they’re more likely to want another turn. That means more chances to practise running, jumping, balancing, and moving in different ways.

Use their imagination

Pretend the floor is a river or that you’re a monster trying to catch them. Giving a movement a purpose makes it more interesting, and kids will often come up with their own ideas too.

Help them try something new

Adjust the game so it gives them a challenge they can work towards. Give them time to practise and figure things out, and let them see the progress they’re making.

Make time to play together

These games give you something active to do together. You can laugh, make up your own rules, and enjoy spending time with your kids while they build their skills.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Common questions

Do we need lots of equipment?

Many games use things you already have, such as balls, pillows, or stuffed animals. Simple extras like pool noodles and cones open up more possibilities. Check the instructions for the game you choose.

What ages is the card deck for?

The PlayBoost Deck is designed with ages 4–8 in mind, and many games can be enjoyed by older kids too. Adjust the space, pace, and challenge to suit your child.

What’s the difference between HQ and the deck?

PlayBoost HQ is where you can explore the online game library. The physical deck gives you 30 illustrated games to hold, choose, and take along, with a printed guide and QR codes for video demonstrations.
